If you want to do PhD, go to a University otherwise go to a University of Applied Sciences.


If you are in IT, it doesn't really matter tbh but in other courses some companies prefer university graduates over those who attended University of Applied Science.

It depends on what you want to do in the future after studying.

You can use Google translate to read the article but if you really want to do PhD, I will advise you not to go to a University of Applied Science.

Many thanks. The attached link really provided in depth explanation on it. Thanks for taking your time to help a brother out.

I don't think it has anything to do with PhD. The difference is just like University of Technology and Ordinary University; just in the case of Nigeria. Whichever way, you can still apply and be selected for your PhD if you decided to further your studies.

Oh..thanks for this. I appreciate.

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday to y'all.
I'm in need of clarification on this issue. I made findings on the differences between University of Applied Sciences and Universität/Technical Universities in Germany for Masters program and I found out that the formal doesn't seem to prepare one for research study like the latter and they also focus more on practical than theory. Does this mean attending Uni. Of Applied Sciences is a waste of time for someone who wishes to pursue a Doctoral program eventually?

How easy will it be to obtain a Ph.d admission into a Technical University with a Masters degree qualification from a university of Applied Sciences?
In essence, won't the awarded certificate be subjected to discrimination both home and abroad? (because as I found out, it's more a less a vocational college in Nigeria)

..or it's not as bad as I think?

Because you'll make a photocopy.

The Photocopy is what you certify.

Although you could use original documents, Uni Assist is against accepting original documents

Alright thanks.

I applied with the certified copy of my "student" Transcript via Uni-Assist and it was accepted.

As long as the Student Transcript has a signature and the stamp of the issuing Institution, it will be accepted.

Thanks

I have a question though, Is it the issuing school's stamp and signature that automatically makes it certified or you still had to visit high court/ notary public?

Geophillic:
Yes diorl....it is a typo error

I graduated the previous year ..you're also from FUTA?

Geophillic:
Diorl which are u for futa

You meant year of graduation?

I walked that path. It can be accepted by some schools but they will ask you to send the official transcript for enrollment. Uniassist however will reject it and they will ask you to upload the official transcript before your application will be reviewed which you have to do within the application deadline of the schools you are applying for, so I will encourage you to use the official transcript for all applications with Uniassist.

Thanks bro. I have decided to get the official transcript from my school, just that Instead of sending to uni-assist directly, I'm thinking of sending the transcript to a company so I can obtain the original transcript myself. Thereafter, I will scan and upload to uni-assist or the university.
I hope this still works anyway.

I have both type of Transcripts. But at the University of Lagos there is a write up on the student transcript were the University clearly state that the student copy should and can't be use as an official copy. Meaning the school is warming that you can't use the Student copies to process any application. If yours is like that then you must use the transcript from Institution. Wen you say the expensive transcript well in University of Lagos Transcript is 3000 Naira. Except in State Schools I don't know is Obtain there. Danke

I studied in FUTA and the cost is 10k for official copy..student copy costs 1k, and institutional copy is 2k.
To be on a safer side, I may have to go for the official transcript.
Thanks.

Hello everyone. Thanks for painlessly attending to questions thrown in.

I need to ask if it's compulsory to use the official transcript from school (The expensive one) for application or the normal student copy will suffice?

My thought is, if the student transcript copy is certified in court, it should fly.
Has anyone gone through this route before and was accepted by the university/ uni-assist?
Thanks.
